this could easily be a 5 star but gave it a 4 -- but regardless plenty of hot, interesting playing... the terrapin outro jam pre-drums goes back into terrapin coda before going right into drums -- never heard that before...

and jerry's initial jamming on throwin' stones is really cool w/ atonal chords and then into a great stretch playing off bobby and phil. different-sounding material here as well. would say throwing stones is a must listen.

This was the start of an historic short tour through the inter-mountain west that was wicked hot.

This show features a text book 1983 first set which has a poetic Candyman, a perfect Esau, a raucous Tennessee Jed and a very strong ending tri fecta of Lazy Lightning> Supplication> Deal.

The first half of the second set is a high light with Touch of Grey still more heavy than the pop song it would become in latter years. Samson is ripping and up next is a gorgeous Terrapin with the previously mentioned reprise after a surprisingly long jam before drumz.

The post space is fun too with a very strong Wharf Rat following NFA.

The Sugar Magnolia is slight disjointed but they end it with a raving SSDD and end the the night with a sweet Brokedown.

Only wish is the sound quality could be better.

This sounds good. Solid show.

Wow, perhaps the worst butchering of lyrics I have ever heard in a Dead performance, including Jerry's zombie years. Bobby effectively sings the wrong verses/words for three separate verses of "Feel Like a Stranger," back-to-back. Hilarious! Jerry makes up for it with some freaking killer Mutron soloing. A classic '83 run, great tape.

This seems to be the best source for this show, including the soundboard.

Hot show. Check out the reprise back into Terrapin right before drums. Nice!
